Description

Torcliffe enjoys a dramatic position looking over Combe Martin and along the coast. This detached home can be reached up a quiet narrow lane from the village. It is a spacious bungalow with a light and airy open plan layout and large bay windows taking full advantage of the stunning views. It has been furnished in a contemporary style throughout with newly fitted decking spanning the whole elevation with the best sea views - a perfect setting for al fresco dining as guests enjoy the sun setting across the water. An up to date large kitchen makes dining in a popular choice with the dining table positioned to take full advantage of the views. The dual aspect lounge has equally spectacular views. The main double bedroom opens onto a small level enclosed garden and the twin room enjoys views up the valley towards Exmoor. The home has an entrance porch and boot room providing secure storage for surfboards, bikes and beach equipment. Large sloping gardens surround the property. The well-known Grade II listed Pack O’ Cards Inn looks over Combe Martin beach and the village also has a general store/post office. Combe Martin is well known for its Wildlife and Dinosaur Park; a 28-acre attraction that has a passion for encouraging respect for the natural world. As well as lions, wolves, sea lions, monkeys, wallabies, exotic birds and more, the park is well known for its life-sized animatronic dinosaurs. The village consists of one long street that is wedged into the valley and runs for roughly one and a half miles from Exmoor to the Atlantic

Reviews

definitely a property with a wow reaction ,the views superb property spacious and combe martin a lovely small friendly village .only ten minutes to Ilfracombe
it is a steep climb to the property but really worth it
have booked again for next year enjoyed it so muchMrs Denise Hewitt - 10th September 2018

The views from the accommodation were spectacular and because of its high position we were able to sit on the terrace till late and enjoy the wonderful sunsets.
When we arrived everything was cleaned to a high standard and there were nice little touches; we particularly enjoyed the chocolate cake.
Torcliffe is a lovely, very relaxing place to stay and I would highly recommend it.
Guest from 25th August 2018 - 1st September 2018

Fantastic property with amazing views of Combe Martin bay. It was warm, cosy and very comfortable. Marsdens were very easy to deal with and we will definitely be back.Mrs Jane Waterhouse - 17th February 2018

This is a stunning property with an incredible view - we are already looking at coming back next year!Natalie Russell - 15th February 2018

This was our third successive visit to Torcliffe in June, which we love because of its stupendous location, we spent hours just admiring the view. You feel on your own, yet local shops are only 5 mins. away, which we like.Mr Martin Ward - 26th June 2017

A lovely property and view, we love to come back as we do.Mrs teresa agutter - 21st June 2017

Only complaint was the weather.... Although it didn't stop us having a marvellous week.... It was a pleasure to have such a lovely place to go back to after a busy day exploring... Wonderful location, great views and very peaceful ... Thanks to all concerned....Mr Stephen Bennett - 13th March 2017

Had wonderful sea views. Was a very spacious, well presented property with high standards of cleanliness.Mrs Marion Oubhie - 20th February 2017

Overall very good, excellent location close to the village and for walking, great vista from the front windows and decking. Lots of light pouring in throughout the daytime, even in February. All made for a very relaxed few days.Mr J Stone - 13th February 2017

By far the best holiday property we have ever stayed in. From the view to the location to the overall appearance and cleanliness of the property: it could not be faulted! A***Miss H Brown - 6th February 2017

Torcliffe.what a phenomenal property and impeccably kept. We are property snobs and not easily impressed so this rating does not come easily. The house came with every amenity imaginable. The Marsdens booking process was flawless as well. Thank you!Mrs Debbie Ellis - 31st January 2017

We went to Torcliffe last year, this year, and have already booked June 17th-24th in 2017. That says it all really.Mr Martin Ward - 4th July 2016

Lovely comfortable house with fantastic views, we don't want to leave...A&B - 8th August 2015

15 years ago we came to Combe Martin for a hike. We fell in love with the views. So it was super exciting when we were looking for a holiday home and this house showed those exact views! We don't want to leave. The house is really comfortable and very spacious. Thank you!K&A, New Jersery, USA - 1st August 2015

Beautiful house in an amazing location, would never tire of the view. Had a lovely holiday, definitely come back to DevonJ&S - Shropshire - 25th July 2015

Our first family holiday with a six month old baby. The accommodation was perfect, spacious with lovely facilities. The fact that the bedrooms were spaced apart meant any disturbances in the night were kept to a minimum. The extra touches of milk, cold water in the fridge and a lovely cake were great on arrival. Location was great... Thoroughly enjoyed our time here - thank you. The view is unbeatable, particularly sunsets.M Family - Staffordshire - 11th July 2015

Lovely, spacious bungalow, very clean and we loved the wonderful view. So relaxing to sit outside and just watch the view. Enjoyed our week, many thanks.Mr & Mrs J - Trowbridge, Wiltshire - 7th July 2015

Very clean.spacious, light and well-appointed accommodation. The views are absolutely astounding and present the visitor with many happy hours of quiet contentment and contemplation, whatever the weather or season....Mr & Mrs W - Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 13th June 2015

A wonderful cottage, can't wait to come again! Amazing views, will miss sitting on the decking watching sea after a long day exploring. Would recommend The Dolphin, good food (esp. the Sunday carvery), child and dog friendly. Great beaches at Putsborough and Saunton...E, M, J - Didcot, Oxfordshire - 6th June 2015

Many thanks for the cake and milk. We had a lovely week in Torcliffe and North Devon. The beds are so good...Mr & Mrs Z, Germany - 22nd May 2015

Torcliffe is a lovely spacious bungalow, we have had a very relaxing stay, the views are fantastic. We have enjoyed walking around the Valley of the Rocks Lynton & Lynmouth are worth a visit. A good meal can be had at the Pack of Cards....C&K, Stoke-on-Trent - 25th April 2015

We had an amazing week, beautiful weather which was made all the better by the amazing windows and decking - good for relaxing on and soaking up the sun. Very well appointed cottage, very comfortable and we were greatly enjoyed the cake on arrival!...We look forward to coming back one day!J&G - Kent - Canterbury - 18th April 2015

Lovely bungalow, so comfortable and well equipped. The view from Torcliffe is wonderful. The weather has been great. We have had a restful peaceful holiday. Just what we needed. Combe Martin remains the same unspoilt. We will be back!C&G - 18th April 2015

This week has been amazing. Not only was the view beautiful and the weather fantastic but the house was light, airy and well-furnished. The decking is a great addition to the already lovely house; sunbathing was a very popular past time among our family!D, S &C - Poole, Dorset - 10th April 2015

Amazing views and a very comfortable house. Ideally placed for walking the coast path. Thank you very much.Mr & Mrs C, west Sussex - 28th March 2015

20 years of self catering and this has to be amongst the best. Can't understand why Torcliffe is only rated as 3 stars! Should have 5*....Thank you so much Andrea for a really warm welcome.V&S, East London - 14th March 2015

We came to Torcliffe the same time last year and came back because we loved the house, the views and the level of comfort whatever the weather. We were even more pleased to see the changes - the new bathroom, the decking and windows and appreciate the money that has been spent on it. Again, we enjoyed all the little extras - it makes it a far superior rental property to all others we have stayed in over the years. Explored more walking areas this year, thanks to good maps - Mortehoe, Woody Bay, Woolacombe...P & H, Hertfodshire - 28th February 2015

The first word we all said when we walked into Torcliffe was wow. The most stunning views of coast and countryside, like living the dream. Thank you so much for sharing Torcliffe with us, we loved everything about the bungalow, one of the best we have ever stayed in over 30 years of self-catering. We have walked miles along the stunning coastal paths, definitely a lot fitter than when we arrived! I am going to miss just sitting and gazing at that fabulous view, Camberley just doesn't compare. We look forward to returning to Torcliffe. Thank you.Mr & Mrs B - 12th December 2014

We had a lovely time in a clean, welcoming and warm property. The house is beautifully furnished and cosy...and we enjoyed our stay greatly. Thank you!A - 12th December 2014

This was our 2nd visit to Combe Martin and Torcliffe and everything was a wonderful as one year ago. Thank you for providing such a lovely house for dog owners. Our white Swiss Sheperd was as happy as we were! We certainly will come again!S & R - 17th October 2014

A lovely clean, comfortable cottage, had everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed the fantastic views and walks around the rockpools. We will definitely be coming back....Thank you so much - we would recommend to family and friends as we enjoyed our stay so much - the tea, coffee and muffins on arrival were very welcoming.J & I - 21st September 2014

Wow, what a lovely house! So comfortable, spacious and the views are fantastic. We've had some wonderful walks along the cliff tops....recommend The Black and White Fish chippie, also Hunters Inn at Heddon's Mouth. Would love to come back! Thank you for letting us stay!G & S - 30th August 2014

We have all had a fantastic week away. The house is in a wonderful spot and we have enjoyed watching the world go by. The sunsets too have been great to see and Combe Martin itself is still a magical place. Black + White Fish and Chip shop was excellent but very busy on Fridays. Beach wise we have been spoilt for choice. Croyde is great, Saunton Sands is wonderful, Woolacombe is beautiful if a little busy. Even Wild Pear Beach along the coast path is amazing if you are prepared to attempt the rope descent to the beach (the last stretch of path has been destroyed by a land slip). I think we broke our family record for number of beaches hit in a week! Anyway - a great holiday. We would love to come back. Thank you!M Family - 23rd August 2014

Had a wonderful fortnight stay at Torcliffe, Combe Martin. Weather during week 1 good but week 2 a bit more overcast & changeable. Thought Combe Martin was wonderful with something for everyone & great for families. Cottage well equipped and in a stunning location. Spacious and very well presented. Lovely to have a welcome 'cuppa' & cake.M - 16th August 2014

Lovely location with stunning views, day and night. Bungalow clean and spacious and well equipped. Combe Martin = quaint and unspoilt (can recommend the butchers). Weather = perfect! Only one overcast day, so we did a long coastal walk - well worth it! Beautiful views. This was over second visit to Torcliffe and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A relaxing family holiday. Thank you for cake, milk and coffee on our arrival, it was much appreciated.The S Family - 2nd August 2014

Great place - really enjoyed the views. Need a good pair of binoculars to keep yourself entertained. Local pub Foscle good for pint overlooking beach as evening sun goes down. Pack of Cards pub grub fine and dogs enjoyed short walk along the village and back.A & J - 26th July 2014

Wonderful accommodation, fantastic views, weather has been absolutely great. No need to venture far if you don't want to. We did, so much to see. This is our 26th year holidaying in Devon, using Combe Martin as our base. The property was spotless and the welcome tray much appreciated. Thank you.Mr & Mrs B - 19th July 2014

We have much enjoyed this spacious property and the location above the 'combe' and are grateful for the high standard of preparation - thank you. Much walking to be had in magnificent countryside and conditions.Mr & Mrs R - 5th July 2014

We stayed a fortnight in this beautiful house on this magnificent location and enjoyed it thoroughly.B & R - 14th June 2014

What can I say? When sitting in the garden with a glass of wine in the evening, the view takes your breath away - it is so beautiful. Lovely house, with everything we could need and more. Thank you very much. We have been blessed with wonderful weather this week and have walked miles. This area is perfect for walkers....Also Combe Martin has all you could need locally.Mr & Mrs M - 17th May 2014

Torcliffe is a lovely property - truly relaxing, we've done a number of these cottage rentals....this break has ticked so many boxes for us - we are sure to return....Combe Martin itself is a little gem, good accessibility to the lovely beaches North Devon has to offer, Woolacombe and Saunton really spacious, Croyde good (but dog ban May - Sept)...I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we have.Mr & Mrs W - 9th May 2014

A lovely holiday rental, far outweighed our expectations.A view to die for and to top it off, we only had rain 1 day out of the whole week. The cake on arrival was a nice touch. Spacious and comfortable, the bed I want to ship home with me as it is extremely comfortable....We will certainly be booking again.Mr & Mrs B - 5th May 2014

Wonderful place to stay, very spacious, tidy and renovated to a high standard, I could move in and live here without hesitation. Great views day and night. Lynton and Lynmouth worth a visit and Valley of Rocks is beautiful. A good holiday had by all.The B Family - 20th April 2014

Torcliffe' is a wonderful property with fabulous views across the bay. Perfect location for walks, horseriding & towing around North Devon. I highly recommend Devon Riding School who offer lessons & hacks across the moor. Arlington Court is a must to visit with beautiful gardens to stroll through. A little bit further out is Saunton Sands - an amazing beach! And we treated ourselves to afternoon tea at the hotel which overlooks the beach. Ilfracombe has some lovely little restaurants near the harbour which offered great value meals. In Combe Martin itself, I can recommend The Dolphin for bar meals and also the Fish & Chip Shop just up the road. This is definitely a place to relax & unwind - I shall miss sitting in the rocking chair, patio door open, just gazing out at the bay...! The property has everything you need and beautifully furnished. Spacious, bright and comfortable.Ms B - 11th April 2014

We have had a lovely relaxing week in this lovely bungalow. I am writing this on our last day in glorious sunshine, what a lovely end to our week. When we walked in on our day of arrival, we said wow. The bungalow is beautifully furnished and very comfortable , all the oak furniture being very impressive! I need to stay here at least 2 months to read all the books available and the CDs and DVDs plus games and magazines made it home from home...Thank you for the tea tray and delicious cake, it was much appreciated....We will definitely be back, thank you for having us.Mr & Mrs W - 5th April 2014

We have had a lovely relaxing time at Torcliffe, we have enjoyed the ever-changing view, especially the early evening sunsets. Torcliffe is a cosy and comfortable cottage, the tea and cake found on arrival were very welcoming.Mr & Mrs M - 8th March 2014

Such a lovely place for a winter break - location and bungalow. Fantastic all round views to watch weather, and more weather, rolling it towards us. Very warm, very comfortable, lots of space and bright and airy. Loved all the magazines - so know how to prepare for the beach this year and then..thanks for the cake - a lovely thought.P & H - 1st March 2014

Great views and location. Easy access to Ilfracombe,Woolacombe, Saunton & Croyde, great (windswept!), beach walk. House has everything one could ask for and would definitely recommend...A & N - 4th January 2014
